Identical to the last one as the last two trucks finish up their preparations back at the base. Angel catches whiff of something that smells different. A person that doesn't smell like one of the guards, or the uniforms that had been in the area recently. He also smells the distinct smell of gun powder.

Far enough to keep them from being lumped together in case things go sour, but close enough that he can close the distance with decent time (he's a big boy, but he was still a footballer, after all!). "I'm here," he mutters on the comm. "What do you make of this one?" Back to Top   Mark Rydell Mentor Intelligence I'd rip you apart.

It slams on it's brakes and screeches to a halt with the supply truck doing the same behind it! There is yelling as people flee the sidewalks and run away from the scene as the guards pile out of the trucks and start to draw their weapons. The robed man remains in the vehicle for the time being. The fire escape is easy enough to reach if any of them jumped for it! « Last Edit: Mar 24, 2016 20:36:53 GMT -6 by Mathew Amtrum » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Joshua Eichmann Agent Trainee Defense Level 12 Paladin [send pm] Joined: January 2016 Gender: Posts: 331 Paradigm Shift #12 Jimstanbul (Not Constantinople) « Mar 24, 2016 20:38:39 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "What's happening?

That's very not good. [COMM]: "Yeah Josh, looks like Mark decided to go loud. Go help him with whatever's going on. You too, Nate. Comm if you need backup." Then he nods to Sarah and her fire escape, with a tense smile. "You two get up there, I can give you a boost if you need one. I'll be right behind you." Assume that's said before she jumps!

The guards start fanning out for cover! The robed man continues to sit in the truck for now! Angel and Sarah make it up the fire escape where they see a man with a rifle peering down at the street. They can see a pistol tucked behind his belt and the corpse of an Imperial soldier behind him on the roof. Nate makes it onto the fire escape! Aaron's legs are flaring up in pain as he is feeling woozy! Josh arrives to see soldiers flanking Mark! « Last Edit: Mar 24, 2016 20:49:32 GMT -6 by Mathew Amtrum » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Mark Rydell Mentor Intelligence I'd rip you apart.

Welp, that left one thing to do. "RAAAAAAAAAH!" Josh shouted in order to draw attention, running at the soldiers flanking Mark. As he built up speed, the hemi-spherical barrier he favored for running attacks materialized in front of him, set up for the perfect bull rush!

With Josh distracting the soldiers as two of them turn to the sound of the rushing Joshua. Firing against his barrier with yellow beams moments before he slammed into one of them! Mark is able to block the shot from the remaining guard facing him as he closes the distance. Though this soldier would jump to the side to avoid Mark's attack as the robed man slowly got out of the car. The man on the roof looks like he is lining up a shot with his rifle. He hasn't appeared to notice Angel and the others yet. When Nate speaks up and starts rifling through the dead man's stuff the rebel would jump and spin around pointing the gun at Nate and the others. "On the ground or I blow your brains out!" His eyes were wide with panic and surprise! « Last Edit: Mar 24, 2016 21:01:29 GMT -6 by Mathew Amtrum » Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Leif Adamson Agent In the Land of Gods and Monsters.
